The White Sox, who may not get to say they are No. 1 much lately, have beaten Chicago’s other major pro sports teams in the fan experience they deliver, according to a J.D. Power report released Wednesday.

Ironically, it’s possible their lack of big crowds may have helped them.

That victory for Major League Baseball made Chicago the only one of the 11 markets tracked in the 2017 J.D. Power Fan Experience Study in which an MLS or NHL team did not finish first. National Football League franchises wound up consistently at the bottom everywhere, however.

J.D. Power said the rankings were based on seven factors that go along with attending a game or match. They were, in order of importance: seating area and game experience; security and ushers; leaving the game; arriving at the game; food and beverage; ticket purchase; and souvenirs and merchandise.

“We know teams with winning records generally do not have problems filling seats, but this study is about finding out which teams are giving their fans the best experience for their dollar,” said Greg Truex, J.D. Power’s senior director of sports research at J.D. Power, in a statement.

“Whether a team is a perennial champion, a contender or is accumulating draft picks to build for the future, they all need to find ways to get people through the turnstiles.”

But if the White Sox had more people going through the turnstiles, it’s possible arrivals might not have been as smooth, departures might have been slower and it also might have been more difficult to buy tickets.

Those were three of the four categories in which they outscored all Chicago teams. The other was in food and drinks, an area J.D. Power said the Cubs were found particularly wanting.

Bringing up the rear in every category was the Bears.

“These results have to make NFL teams sit up and take notice,” Truex said.

J.D. Power only evaluated Chicago and Houston, as well as the greater New York and Los Angeles areas, in its original 2016 survey.

Added this year were greater Boston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Denver, South Florida, Philadelphia, Northern California’s Bay Area and Washington, D.C.

Los Angeles, meanwhile, was expanded to include all of Southern California.

The White Sox's 809 points tied the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim as baseball's top-ranked team across the 11 markets.
